4. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for safe and effective rebar bending.
4.1 Preparing for Bending
- Select Rebar: Ensure the rebar diameter is within the tool's capacity (4-16mm).
- Set Bending Angle: Use the removable positioning bolt to set the desired bending angle (0-130 degrees). The markings on the bolt assist in achieving the correct angle.
- Position Rebar: Insert the rebar into the bending head, ensuring it is securely seated against the bending block and the positioning bolt.

4.2 Bending Procedure
- Engage Bending: Press and hold the operating switch. The bending block will begin to push forward, initiating the bend.
- Monitor Angle: Continuously observe the rebar as it bends.
- Release Switch: Once the desired angle is achieved, release the operating switch.
- Reset Bending Block: Loosen the pressure relief valve switch to retract the bending block to its original position. This releases the hydraulic pressure.
- Remove Rebar: Carefully remove the bent rebar from the tool.
Note: If the handle casing is damaged, please refer to replacement handle casing ASIN: B0C1N5VKZQ for repair.
